Remember too that Grossman was a means to an end. Last year, the flames had to get as close to the cap as they could before the start of the season in order to maximize the benefit of Ladi Smid's LTIR. He should never have dressed in my opinion, but the plan was to get him to sign the contract (575K i Believe) to push the number right to the cap limit, and then was terminated once the season started. But yes, I still wake up with night terrors occasionally when I think of him playing.... it was like he had 2 left skates and a lacross stick out there.
